This year, Styles P and Adjua Styles will be celebrating their 25th marriage anniversary. The hip hop couple is currently featured on this season fo Marriage Boot Camp, and they’re hoping that their appearance will help them iron out some wrinkled places in their relationship. Adjua shared with Madame Noire that the last 10 years with her husband have fallen into a monotonous rut, so they wanted to take advantage of the couple’s therapy even if it was on reality television.

In 2015, Styles P and Adjua’s 20-year-old daughter Tai committed suicide. Since that time, the couple has spoken openly about their ongoing healing process. While many couples decide to split following a tragedy, Adjua Styles said that breaking up her marriage wasn’t even an option. “It was more like, ‘What the hell are we going to do to make sure we support each other and get through this to heal?'” she said. “That was not even a whim. It was like, ‘Ok, so this is our situation, this has been put in our path. What can we do to not be broken from it? How can we use each other to strengthen and heal?’ We leaned on each other.”

She also talked about the “phases” a parent goes through when they lose a child so tragically. “For me, the phase that I’m in now, it’s so much better. It’s peaceful,” Adjua added. “The initial stage is very difficult. You can’t even articulate what you’re going through, let alone lean on anyone. You don’t even really know what’s going on. Your whole world is shaken up.”

Adjua also mentioned that she has a heartfelt concern for Vanessa Bryant after the deaths of her husband Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant. “For her to have her partner gone. It’s a double whammy,” Adjua added. “I think about her just trying to process. You process one, then the other. Then you still have the children you’re looking at, which are reminders. It’s a lot.”

Last month, comedian/writer Cookie Hull revealed that Loni Love concocted several emails that would ultimately lead to Tamar Braxton getting fired from The Real. While current hosts of the daytime talk show have feuded and made up with the Braxton sister on multiple occasions, the saga between Tamar and the cast consisting of Tamera Mowry, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon and The Real‘s newest addition Amanda Seales continues years after Braxton’s departure from the show. Now, Loni Love is clearing the air about the rumor that it was her that contributed to the singer/songwriter from getting dismissed from the television series.

According to Cookie Hull, who is an ex-friend and collaborator of Loni Love’s, the 48-year-old comedian turned television personality plotted against Tamar Braxton because she wanted to be the show’s only “ghetto” cast member and didn’t appreciate Braxton taking all of her shine. While Hull’s claims do sound fictitious and bizarre, some fans of the show and Braxton’s following believed the rumor to be true. This is why Love is coming forward and speaking her truth about the outrageous claim is nothing but a hoax. 

In a recent interview with Madame Noire, Love denies that she even refers to herself in terms such as “ghetto” and would never refer to Tamar as such. The interview initially brings up the subject of Hull’s allegations, stating:

“I don’t know if you want to talk about this or not—but Cookie Hull recently did an interview with Comedy Hype and she made some claims that it was you who wrote an e-mail to get Tamar fired and you wanted to be the only ‘ghetto’ Black girl on the show. You addressed it a little bit on TheReal but didn’t say her name. So I wanted to know what you thought about that.”

Loni Love gracefully replied:

“I do have thoughts about that that I addressed in my book. But I will say this, anybody that knows me, knows that I will not describe myself as a ghetto girl. I wouldn’t describe Tamar Braxton as a ghetto girl. I might say that we believe in the power of being ourselves. But ghetto girl?! I would never do that. And also, there’s a lesson in this. When you try to help people, you have to watch who you help.” 

Love continued:

“I’ve never been against any Black woman. My fans know that. That’s the reason why I wrote this book. When you read the book, you will see. I’ve been trying to get the truth out for years. But here, we dealing with this reality show type (mentality). I do address that in my book.”

Loni Love is currently promoting her new memoir, I Tried to Change So You Don’t Have To, while The Real continues to produce their Emmy-winning content for their fans. Check out a clip of Love judging the brand new competition talent show The Funny Dance Show in the Instagram post provided below. 

She’s expressed her desire to start a family for quite some time, and after careful consideration, K. Michelle and her boyfriend Dr. Kasten Sims decided to use a surrogate. On Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, K. shared the journey she was taking with her surrogate, Tannae, and spoke about how wonderful the young lady was. However, Tannae seemed to be having some personal issues of her own, and K. Michelle seemed to grow tired of Tannae wanting to hang out and talk on the phone all of the time as if they were best friends.

In a recent interview with Madame Noire, the singer revealed that she still wants to have twins a surrogate, but she’s explored other options. K. Michelle revealed that she met Tannae at an Ikea store and after feeling as if they had a divine meeting, Tannae eventually became the singer’s possible surrogate. K. gave her gas money, paid for her four children’s birthday parties, and has been there for Tannae when she had nothing, but then Tannae allegedly went behind her back, signed a contract for Love & Hip Hop, and then used the storyline as “bargaining power against” the singer.

When asked about Tannae, K. said, “Oh hell no. I’m not using that clown.” She also said that Tannae only negotiated a $500 payment for her appearance on the reality show and then the production company didn’t pay up on time. “You’re blowing up the network over $500 and calling all of my producers and everything, embarrassing me and these relationships that I’ve built all of these years for $500,” K. added. “I know $500 is a lot to some people, but you got yourself in this situation.”

“So I decide, I’m not going to do this, and you get on YouTube and make a whole YouTube about me, but thank God I’ve never told you one piece of business about me, so it didn’t go far,” the singer continued. “But [her man] doing all the talking. He still got dreams of being a rapper, one of those types of n*ggas. What you gon’ take the money I’m giving, this big ol’ lump sum of money that you ain’t never seen? That could have been something for some kids. But sometimes we be so stupid just clout chasing. You just f*cked up with me, and now I’m not buying a barrette. So now I want a surrogate who don’t know not one K. Michelle song. Don’t know not one! I’m not offended. That’s who I’m looking for. I will be putting it in, and then I will deal with [Dr. Sims]. But right now, we’ve got to deal with these kids because they’re important.”

Mr. Unbothered himself hasn’t said much about his ex Apryl Jones entering into a relationship with his B2K bandmate Fizz. Omarion did sit down with Vlad TV months ago and shared that he didn’t have any feelings about the romance budding between the mother of his two children and his old friend, adding that if they’re happy, then that’s all that matters.

Omarion was applauded for how he’s handled the situation, and on the heels of the rumors that Apryl and Fizz have broken up, Madame Noire shared their recent interview with the singer. Aside from asking him about the next Millennium Tour, the outlet also probed Omarion about the drama surrounding his personal life.

“In my self-reflecting, I realized that maybe I would take it too far. Maybe I would go further and there would be certain consequences that wouldn’t just affect me, but it would affect my kids,” he said. “Really, when you take a step back and you really know yourself, you’re able to make better decisions. So to be honest with you, I just did a lot of self-reflecting and I realized, a lot of situations and circumstances are really out of your control. The only power you have is the way that you react. In order to really get a grip on that, you almost have to go through all of the emotions. You have to go through the ups and downs to really be able to root yourself and focus on what’s important.”

He added, “I just made the decision to be respectful to my kids and to be respectful to myself because it’s like, everybody is like, ‘I would respond like this,’ or ‘I would respond like that,’ but what happens after that? And then also, it’s like, what am I here for? Am I here for that? No. I’m here for my kids. Truly.”

As he approaches his 20th year in the music industry, Omarion has examined various aspects of his personal and professional life. “Everyone is not in the industry or doing something long enough to where they ask themselves, ‘Why am I doing this?'” he said. “This will be my 20th year in the music industry. So at that time, I was asking myself a lot of questions. I just had kids. I was like, why am I doing this?… I would really attribute [Apryl] not understanding to lack of communication and upbringing. I was raised a little bit different than she was raised and I think that is really, at the end of the day, always a thing in relationships. It’s just miscommunication and different love languages. So that’s what I would really attribute it to. People grow and some people grow out of each other. I would say that is, from my perspective, truly is what happened.”
